Peter Cross Eliminated in 16th Place ($18,553)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In the last hand before the break, Austin Apicella opened to 65,000 from under the gun and picked up four callers along the way. The flop came J♠7♥5♠ and the action checked around to the 7♣ on the turn.
Apicella was the first to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 90,000. Peter Cross called on his left and Chahn Jung check-raised to 330,000 from the big blind. Apicella quickly folded but Cross used two time banks before ripping all in for 665,000. He was met with a snap-call from Jung and saw the bad news.
Peter Cross: 10♠10♦
Chahn Jung: Q♣7♦
Cross was down to just two outs to keep his tournament life alive but the Q♦ on the river only improved Jung to a full house.
